how do you make sales then? wait for people to call. I'm a commercial insurance agent. most of the time i have plenty of work to do, but i don't feel like it. it's much more interesting around here.

What I am saying is that the door is open for you to make as much as you want to make. If you want to make 30k a year, go for it. If you want to make 300k a year, suit yourself. If the sun is shini...

socalgal Feb 23, 2004

WOW, i'm going to pass that message onto Johnny (prez of element) Try the henna tats *so you CAN'T get a tat? OOPPS, should i get mine removed?? (totally kidding)

magnum Feb 23, 2004

i dunno i think we cant right? can i say its a conscious matter? I wanted to get them and send a pic in one day or somethin, i have seen a few other people get tats of their fav skate companys

the deal is it is a conscience matter however, if u have one VISABLE, you can't have privledges in the congragation... if its not visable- its a conscience matter.. thats how my dad explained it to me anyways haha

thatdarngirl thatdarngirlOG 2002

Yeah..that's how I thought it went.

magnum magnumOG 2001

if you are wearing a suit the only way it could be visible is on your face or somethin :p

It's a conscience matter in either case. Having privileges is just that, a privilege. In order to have them you must be "exemplary", as in, above and beyond what is required. You can be a perfectly fine witness in good standing in the congregation with absolutely no privileges whatsoever.

Oh, and as far as visible/non-visible tattoos go, unless they've gotten specific direction from the Society, that sort of thing is up to the local body of elders to decide on. So while the body in your congregation has decided to do it that way, the body in another congregation might decide on something completely different.

My dad is an elder in my hall, and he has a tattoo right on his arm (he DID get it when he wasn't in the truth) of a skull with a knife through the eye that says "death before dishonor"... and he's been an elder for like 15 years

tinser tinserOG 2002

well, i think being in the truth or not when you get it makes a big difference. You can change, and still be considered exemplorary

perrin perrinOG 2004

Oh yeah defenitly. If you didn't know something was wrong and did it it's much different then if you know it is and still do it.

Like tinser said, having gotten it when he wasn't in the truth makes a big difference. My uncle also has a couple of tattoos on his arm that he did when he wasn't in the truth and he's been an elder for as long as I remember.
